DRESS FOR SUCCESS

You cannot judge how good a book is by its cover but generally that is how you decide whether you are interested in reading it or not. In the same way your appearance is not an indicator of your professional skills but it can certainly limit the expectations of the recruiter.

The Dress Code of a company should not be used as a guide to decide how to dress for an interview. An interview and the job are completely different and they require different attitudes. By wearing proper attire for an interview you are demonstrating your respect for them.

A well dressed individual appears to be more secure and projects a higher self-esteem. This translates into more confidence during the interview process.

Even if the position you are applying for does not require formal or corporate attire, it is still a good idea to dress accordingly for the interview, this way you will look good the recruiter, the possibilities of getting the job will be higher. Think of the interview as a first date. The chances of getting a second date with that person are always higher if you leave a good impression (by looking good) on the first date.

On the interview, the recruiter looks for someone who appears to be well spoken, trained and well behaved. If the interviewer has any doubts during the interview, your appearance can trigger the decision. A candidate wearing the wrong outfit may not have the second chance needed to impress the recruiter.

To wear the appropriate attire we recommend the following:

Make sure your outfit is clean and pressed. Neutral colors (beige, gray or black) are always a good choice. You should be the main focus of the interview not your clothes; this is why we don't recommend wearing bright colors. Remember not to wear sunglasses during the interview.

Executives/Professionals

Men: Wear a pressed suit and tie. Shoes must be polished. Your hair should be neat and trimmed. Make sure to have a clean shave. Keep your hands groomed.
